'Application ined april 14,

Be it known that I, STEPHEN A. BAxALYArt,

I a citizen of the United States', and a-res1 dentof Des Moines, in''the county of Polk -andj- State of Iowa, have invented 'a-certain newand useful` Pen and' Pencil Holder, of'

f vwhich the following'is a specification.

More specieally it is the object' of my invention to provide" a pencilor pen holder having improved means for'positively securing the 'same'tothe wearers, pocket, and

provided` with -means whereby 'it may be 1easly .and 'quickly applied'toor 'detached therefrom. My invention consists .in the construction,

arrangement and combination'of 4the varif/ ous parts of the device,whereby the objectsdrawingsyin which:

The said members 14 form Thesaid pivot 15"s designed to carry a pivoted clamping lever-16 which' isformed sub-v stantially U-shaped in cross section, and has `its lower`end provided' -with a lhollow sphertion being` provided with an opening.18. The 'up `r end 19 of thelever 16 extends .upward y andoutwardly, asclearly shown in Figure 2.

i Pivotally mounted between the side members of the levers 16 is alocking lever 20 mounted on lthe pivot 15.' The lower end of the lever20 is provided. with 'an inwardly' extending locking pin the' lower end.of whichis provided with aninwardly extending pin 23 designed to passthrough an opening 24 in theinner face io the member 19, said pin beingdesigned to which is formed from'thebody portion 10. The said` member 25extends upwardly and outwardly, and thence downwardly and inwardly, 'asclearly member 17, said spherical por-Q 2 1.' The upper end of the lever20 is provided with Aan upwardly bearings-for a pivot 15.'

operator `simply places his finger on the member 22 and moves itinwardly, which will first cause the pin 21 to be pulled outwardly fromthe cloth, while the member 18 acts as a stripper. A further inwardmovement of the member I22 will cause the member 19 to engage the upperend of the spring 25, andthe member 18 to be disengaged from the pocketmember, as clearly shown in Figure 5. The member 12 serves as a rest orguide for the pen holder while it is being placed into position, andalso serves as a stop to limit the inward movement of the lower end ofthe lever 16 when the device is not applied to a pocket.

Thus it will be seen that I a pen and pencil holder of simple, durableand inexpensive construction, which may be secured to the barrel of a enor pencil in the usual manner by the c amping devices 11, after whichthe holder may be placed in position on the users pocket, and rmlylocked in position by means of the pin 21 and the clamping member 18,and when so locked it will not accidentally come loose or lost, untilthe pin 21 has been withdrawn by means of the lever 22.

I claim as my invention:

1. A pencil holder comprising a body portion having clamping members forsecuring the body portion to a pencil, a pivoted stripper lever having astripper on its lower end, a pivoted locking lever having a locking pinon its lower end designed to work through said stripper member, andmeansfor yieldably moving the said stripper member and said locking pintoward the pencil, for the purposes stated.
